Reissued Mega Man X Collection Gets Price Cut

Back in November, a wave of new copies of Mega Man X Collection were released throughout North America, exclusive to GameStop and Amazon. While the game itself was exactly same in terms of content, the reissued 2010 version touted a budget $20 MSRP and brand new, eco-friendly packaging.

As it turns out, Amazon just obtained another batch of fresh X Collection copies, slashing the price down to $12.86. Nice, eh? Well, it gets better. Amazon associates are offering new copies even cheaper. How's $7.82 sound for ya? Pretty slick deal, if you ask me. Mind you, there's no indication how many copies are in-stock, so you may want to act on this deal quickly before things deplete.

Unfortunately, I've no word on a reissued GameCube version. Amazon continues to sell the GC version for a staggering $75, with used copies starting at $24 and up. Just as it was in November, reprints are strictly limited to PlayStation 2. I'm not entirely sure why, but one theory I've heard is there's generally more of a demand for the PS2 version.

Anywho, if you don’t already have the originals or missed X Collection the first time around, you may want to consider investing in this deal while you can. Thanks for the tip, Rabidrodent!

This is going to sound lame especially given current events but dammit I want a Legends collection, it's impossible trying to find copies of either game and one has to turn to piracy if they want to play it.
